📝 Edinburgh-based startup SWURF, founded in 2020, has secured a six-figure investment to expand its platform that connects remote workers with underutilized hospitality venues. The funding round included follow-on investment from Gareth Williams, Co-founder of Skyscanner, and support from the Scottish Government’s Techscaler programme, Scottish Enterprise, and private investors. This capital will aid SWURF's expansion across the UK and select European markets, with plans for a further €1.1 million raise later this year for global growth. The company has also strengthened its leadership with three strategic board appointments: Alison Grieve as Chair, Scott Leckie in a permanent tech role, and Daniel Rodgers as Non-executive Director. SWURF's app, which has over XXXXXX users and XXX venues, has generated approximately €2 million in revenue for its partners, highlighting its potential to transform hospitality spaces into productive work environments.
